⚙️ Hosting / Proxy (advanced)
In proxy mode the key lives on the server — Menuvate sends only the demo code, never an API key. v2.83.333: the endpoint is fixed by the build (shown above) and is no longer user-settable.

🖥 POS Price Refresh

Import Menu

📂

Click to browse or drag & drop

PDF, image (.jpg/.png/.webp, or .heic from an iPhone), Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), or plain text — drop several files and they combine into one menu

Reads the page (and any linked menu tabs/PDFs) and extracts the items — the same engine the Competitor Database uses. Multi-tab sites (Lunch/Dinner/Drinks) are detected; the first menu is imported here, and you can import the others separately.

🖥

Click to choose your Focus config folder — or drag the folder here

Menuvate picks out menuitem-12, canvas-12, location-12, Reportgr, Pricele and restgene by name — everything else in the folder is ignored and never read

Folder picker not available? Choose the files individually

Builds a whole menu from the POS. Items are taken from the ordering screens — anything not on a screen is usually retired stock, so it is left out. Sections come from the screen names, and the ones on the location's tab bar are pre-checked.

Confirm Extracted Menu

Review the extracted structure. Proceed when it looks right.

🏪 Brand identity

Brand themes for this restaurant. Menus inherit the default theme unless a menu sets its own. Create alternates (e.g. a bar or seasonal look) and switch between them below.

Clear brand

Menus that set their own logo, name style, or footer keep those either way — this choice only affects the menus that were inheriting the brand.

Manage Versions

Restore from backup

Unsaved review changes

You've made edits in this review that aren't saved as a version yet. Save a version now so you don't lose them if you step away?

📥 Copy competitor to repository

Season is optional — leave as "Not Specified" and edit later from the menu's 🗂 Organize action. This copy is a snapshot; refreshing the competitor later won't change it.

⚠️ Clear all data

A complete backup file will download automatically first. The data is only erased after the backup is saved — keep that file to restore everything later.

This cannot be undone. Type ERASE to confirm:
